Actually, the idiotic part is having a function with eighteen
parameters. Not too surprising that someone confuses them sooner or
later...
Perhaps we could enable QAPI boxing for blockdev-mirror and then just
pass down a struct. Then we could have designated initialisers here in
commit_active_start() and it would be obvious if the wrong one is
changed.
Not something to do in this series, of course, just a general idea for
improvement.
